The focus of Leiden Palaeolithic Archaeology is on the archaeology of the Neanderthals. There are three main strands to our research of Neandertal behaviour, all of which will be covered in the master’s programme.

Research/PhD

A few master’s students can become eligible for a research master’s programme in preparation for a possible PhD research position. Strict selection criteria apply here. Apart from carrying out their own research, PhD students are expected to follow the education programme of a research school such as the Research School for Archaeology (ARCHON) or CNWS. They also have modest teaching obligations, such as being in charge of a seminar based on their own research project.

If you have an interest in research, please see the research master’s in Archaeology webpage.
